From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A foreign student pilot was practicing landings. Just as he flared to land on runway 31R, a gust of wind blew the aircraft off the runway. The aircraft struck two runway lights before the pilot could regain control. Once he was able to recover control of the aircraft, he completed his landing roll-out on the runway.
